Chapter 61 What are you planning?
"How is this possible? This is outrageous!"
"Yuan Ying, Zhang Yuan Ying."
I felt my body swaying from side to side.
Gradually, Zhang Yuanying perked up and turned to look.
Zhang Zhenying kept shaking Zhang Yuanying's arm and calling out Zhang Yuanying's name.
Then he looked across the street.
While grilling Korean beef, the mother asked with concern, "Wonyoung, what's wrong?"
Turning to the left, the father asked worriedly, "Daughter, are you alright?"
Buzz
After the tinnitus subsided, all sounds returned to normal.
The sizzling sound of grilling meat was still so tempting, and the air was filled with the unique aroma of grilled meat.
Zhang Zhenying's voice came through: "What's wrong with you all of a sudden? You keep saying 'it's impossible,' it's not right. Did you suffer some kind of blow?"
Zhang Zhenying was absolutely right; Zhang Yuanying was indeed dealt a severe blow.
When facing her family, Zhang Yuanying naturally wouldn't bring up the fact that she had met Han Xijun, eaten with him, asked him to help her achieve her ambitions, and was rejected.
During this period, she made sure to send Han Xijun greeting messages at fixed times every morning, noon, and evening.
Zhang Yuanying's plan was to persist for a period of time, allowing Han Xijun to gradually develop a habit, and then suddenly disconnect from him. After three days, she would send him a message again, and Han Xijun would be curious about what had happened during the three days she hadn't sent a message.
Taking advantage of Han Xijun's curiosity, she would naturally have the opportunity to get closer to Han Xijun again, perhaps even meet for a meal, and then try to get Han Xijun to help her.
It's a move that requires time and gradual progress, which is better than being rejected. In any case, the flagship car won't be developed and mass-produced and sold so quickly, so Zhang Yuanying still has plenty of time.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for completing his plan: Han Xijun must be single.
So when Jang Won-young heard from Jang Jin-young that Han Hee-joon was really dating Oh Hae-won, she was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.
What does my own contribution even matter?
Sending messages every day may seem simple, but for Zhang Yuanying, who is very busy with her personal schedule and group schedules, it requires a lot of care.
To put it simply, the biggest investment is not money, but time and effort.
However...
Faced with the fact that Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan were dating, her time and feelings were completely useless.
Cheer herself up, Zhang Yuanying asked again, "Is what Unnie said true?"
Jang Jin-young nodded and said, "It's true. Han Hee-joon admitted it himself. The staff at the AI R&D center all know. They even made a bet on it. Eun-hee should be having dinner with the staff right now. Should I give her a call?"
Zhang Yuanying said, "I was just asking casually."
The father sensed something was wrong and asked, "Yuanying, are you really alright?"
Zhang Yuanying forced a smile and said, "It's okay. The reason I said it's impossible is because NMIXX has just debuted. Idol artists are most afraid of relationship scandals. Let alone newly debuted idols, even top idols will have their careers affected if their relationship scandals are exposed."
"Moreover, entertainment companies conduct 'investigative education' before idols debut, including fully understanding and mastering the idol's growth experience from childhood to adulthood, in order to prevent any unclear incidents, such as the '80 incident, from causing subsequent outbreaks that may affect the company and the idol group."
"Also, idols who had relationships before their debut must make a clear decision. Idols cannot be in relationships; their lovers can only be fans."
Zhang Zhenying nodded in agreement, "What Yuan Ying said is true."
Zhang Yuanying said, "That's why I think it's impossible. I guess it must be Wu Haiyuan Xi, who was protecting NMIXX."
"Protect?"
"The trending topics are all criticizing Wu Haiyuan Xi, and they're all his admirers."
Zhang Zhenying asked, "You looked that closely?"
Zhang Yuanying was speechless for a moment.
The father chimed in, "Han Xijun is a handsome young man, hailed as a genius, and sought after by so many conglomerates. He is indeed the prince charming in the hearts of many girls."
Zhang Zhenying muttered to herself, "Don't mothers-in-law prefer prosecutors, doctors, and lawyers?"
Dad said, "That's all in the past. Now it's the Internet age, especially in the field of AI. People like Han Xijun, who are young and already in charge of the most important department of the group, are the best sons-in-law in the eyes of mothers-in-law. Not only do they earn a lot of money, but their social status is also incomparable to that of ordinary prosecutors, lawyers, and doctors."
Zhang Zhenying asked her mother, "Does Mom think so too?"
The mother smiled and said, "Me? If that person were to marry my two daughters, I would first learn about his family background and character. Nothing else matters to me."
Zhang Zhenying muttered, "That's true. Our family doesn't need a son-in-law who can make money, nor do we need to follow the political path or have social status."
Let's eat.
Zhang Yuanying poured wine for her father.
It was a rare occasion for the family to get together for a meal. Zhang Yuanying had come home tonight hoping to experience the long-lost atmosphere of family happiness, but she never expected to hear the news she least wanted to hear from Zhang Zhenying.
You can't let your family know that you're feeling down.
Throughout the meal, Zhang Yuanying behaved as usual, chatting and laughing throughout the meal.
After the meal, Mom was packing side dishes, thinking that Zhang Yuanying would go back to the dormitory and planned to have her take them back for the other members to try as well.
Dad, on the other hand, was sitting in the living room watching a variety show where celebrity chefs cooked.
The second floor.
Jang Jin-young's bedroom.
Zhang Yuanying handed it to Zhang Zhenying.
"New product?"
"Yes, Innisfree's new product."
"It's great to have a sister who's a global brand ambassador; she gets to use the latest products right away."
Jang Won-young asked, "Do you and Eun-seo unnie keep in touch and meet up often?"
Zhang Zhenying glanced at Zhang Yuanying and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Eunseo unnie treated me to dinner and gave me a gift before. I also want to give Eunseo unnie the new Innisfree skincare products."
Zhang Zhenying said, "Just give it to me, and I'll pass it on for you."
Zhang Yuanying said, "I'll give it to Eun-hee unnie myself."
As Zhang Zhenying unpacked the food, she said, "That works too. I'll arrange a time to have dinner together."
Zhang Yuanying added, "I might not have time to eat. Isn't Eunhee unnie working at Kakao Group? I can deliver it to her."
The unpacking stopped.
Zhang Zhenying looked at Zhang Yuanying with a scrutinizing gaze and remained silent.
Zhang Yuanying felt a little uneasy under their gaze.
I was just about to ask Jang Jin-young why she saw me that way.
Zhang Zhenying said, word by word, "Zhang Yuanying, you have a problem. You've had a problem since just now. Tell me honestly, what are you planning? Is it related to that Han Xijun?"
Zhang Yuanying remained calm.
She knows her sister too well.
My sister isn't that sharp-tongued; she's definitely trying to provoke herself.
Zhang Yuanying calmly said, "I just wanted to give Eun-seo unnie some new gifts. It's none of her business, right? Eun-seo unnie likes me so much, can't I give her some?"
Zhang Zhenying looked Zhang Yuanying up and down and asked, "Is that all?"
Zhang Yuanying laughed and said, "Otherwise what? Why do you think I would want to make a move on Han Xijun?"
Zhang Yuanying thought to himself, "It's safe now."
Seeing Zhang Zhenying's serious expression as she pondered the matter, I knew my reasoning had been accepted.
The next second, Jang Jin-young nodded and said, "That's true. You can't possibly be after Han Hee-joon for resources or exposure. You're a popular star, Jang Won-young, I have to admit that."
Unfortunately, Jang Jin-young didn't notice that when Jang Won-young was talking about resources and exposure, her facial expression "failed" for two seconds.
What she said casually, without thinking, revealed the truth!
